I named my baby girl Amelia is 2008. It was like she picked her own name, the day we found out it was a girl that name came out of nowhere into her daddy's head and we knew as soon as we saw her that she was AMELIA! And the user above posted about hating being called Amelia Bedelia, its so funny my daughter is 5 now and loves those books and LOVES The nickname! We even call her "Bea" sometimes for short, which is a weird nickname from calling her "Mia Bea" instead of Amelia Bedelia :) Her teacher even calls her that :)

My name is Amelia and growing up with the books Amelia Bedelia books I always hated when people would call me that or shorten my name and call me Mia. It is a beautiful name and I love it and I feel like I would like it much more if it weren't for those darn books!

i LOVE this name. Funny story on how i found it. My 12 year old son is a huge Doctor Who fan. And Amelia is one of his companions, after i realized i even liked the name i started seeing it EVERYWHERE.(Labels of my clothes, my apartment complex changed their name to Amelia, etc) So IF we ever have a girl, Amelia it shall be :)

i always loved the names amelia & charlotte, i cant explain how annoyed i am that there so ;trendy; now, but its what my heart wanted so my 1st is named Amelia, and if i ever have another girl Charlotte, i know amelia a hot name lately but here in NV and CA i havent heard too many personally.

overall, i like being named amelia. in school, a few kids called me "amelia bedelia"but thats ok. kids are going to find any reason to tease each other.

my parents called me amy for short because my grandma didn't really like the name amelia. i wish they hadn't. it's annoying to have to explain that my name is amelia but i go by amy. everyone says amelia is a pretty name. and amy is so common. i wish i could be called amelia instead of amy. oh well, too late now.
